HANEUL quickly turned off the phone and set it aside, just as the PD walked in. The man glanced at the phone with a raised brow but didn't say anything. It was clear he'd noticed Haneul had been using it, but he chose not to comment. Haneul let out a quiet breath of relief.
"Haneul-ssi's mother and Taeyang-ssi aren't back yet?" Kyungho asked, noticing that Haneul was alone in the room.
"Yes," Haneul said, slightly puzzled. "Weren't you with them, PD-nim?"
The PD nodded. "I went to check on the van. Your mother and Taeyang-ssi are probably still talking."
What the PD had just said quickly caught Haneul's attention. He noticed the startled look that crossed the PD's face, a clear sign that he hadn't meant to let it slip that his mother and Taeyang were talking alone.
"What do you mean, PD-nim?" he asked.
